My cat has been suffering with diarrhea for some time now. It...

Oh and I forgot to mention this: Your vet does not need to send the fTLI to Texas A&M themselves. They send it in to Idexx (same as other bloodwork) who send it to Texas A&M.

How do I know if she need prebiotics or/and probiotics? If she needs them, what do I use?

You are correct.... although EPI is becoming more and more common, some vets, still are not seeing many, if any, cases. And because EPI is not one of the top health conditions vets simply don't have the time to devote...
